Woolfolk Records 1948/09

The records for November 1948 through December 1950 are
unavailable; the available 100 months of William Woolfolk's
records are about a hundred more than most Golden Age writers left.
This month and next are ones I reconstructed,
so there are a
few words that escaped me. I had to backtrack on some;
"Avernus" was just a squiggle until I read the Ibis story following
last month's.

I can't find a Plastic Man story (at 15 pages it would have to be for
Police,
not Plastic Man)
in Woolfolk's style in the
appropriate timeframe, let alone one that fits what may be "crazy
crimes."

"Blackhawk against Blackhawk" is in Woolfolk's style and published in a
month you might expect. The villain's name in the published piece is
Mung; his plot involves midget radios.

I could find the title of the Wild Bill Pecos story, as changed from
Woolfolk's, but not its page count; his
previous lead stories for The
Westerner have been
cut by a page or so. The Wanted
story
may have been published under another
title.
